Grammy-winning singer and actress Coco Jones has married Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell in a private wedding ceremony attended by close family members, friends and several high profile guests from the worlds of sports and entertainment.
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, Aug. 1, during an intimate celebration that featured appearances by NBA players Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson and Bam Adebayo. Singer Ciara and her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, also attended the ceremony.
Although the newlyweds have not released official wedding photographs, videos shared online by guests showed moments from the reception, including the couple’s first dance to Musiq Soulchild’s song Love.
Jones later changed into a second white outfit for the reception, while Mitchell wore a white tuxedo paired with custom Adidas sneakers displaying their wedding date in gold.
Following the ceremony, Ciara congratulated the couple publicly on social media. According to reports, she and Russell Wilson previously helped Mitchell plan his proposal to Jones before the couple became engaged last year.
Jones and Mitchell first met during a Fourth of July party in 2023. While they largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, speculation about their romance grew before Jones acknowledged the relationship during a 2025 appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay.
The pair announced their engagement in July 2025 through a joint Instagram post that included photos and video from Mitchell’s proposal. The engagement followed roughly two years of dating.
Earlier this year, Jones said wedding planning was an entirely new experience despite years in the entertainment industry, describing the process as exciting while expressing her hope for an intimate celebration.
The wedding officially marks the couple’s transition from one of entertainment and sports’ most closely followed relationships to marriage.
Reports indicate the celebration remained relatively private despite the attendance of several well-known athletes and entertainers, reflecting the couple’s preference for keeping much of their personal life away from the spotlight.
The marriage brings together two prominent figures from different industries. Jones has established herself as a Grammy-winning singer and actress, while Mitchell remains one of the NBA’s leading guards with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Their relationship has attracted attention from both music and basketball audiences since becoming public.
Both Jones and Mitchell have balanced demanding professional careers while maintaining a relatively private relationship.
Their wedding follows more than a year after announcing their engagement and comes after months of public interest in their wedding plans.
